Yeah, pretty disappointing. I was certainly expecting more than that...knowing apple they'll slowly roll out features over the next few years. Still, why not make it kick [TOS Violation] now? That multi tasking thing is a deal breaker. I'd love to get one to replace my aging G4 12.1 inch ibook, but not until I can run more than one thing at a time...(really, I can't listen to music AND browse the web while writing an email - how is that suppose to beat a netbook??)

Anyway. I wish I had an iphone...maybe it's time to invest in an ipod touch. Going to wait until they make the iPad a bit better.

It's times like this that I'm ashamed to be an Apple fanboy...when Apple is knowingly screwing their cult followers/less computer literate customers over - and not trying to make the best product possible, just the one that will make the most money.

well flash is a standard that will continue until something better comes along. but better does not mean more features, but more cost effective and less cpu power consumption. when that happens, flash would be history.

Hey... how can I install a new driver... I have some NVIDIA thing.. on my 15 inch MBP (New type, what's it called? The solid one...) I'm running windows 7 on bootcamp, and the patch for AA3 isn't working for me. I've been told it's the Video driver. Any Idea's? I'd like to avoid the internet as much as poss. when getting this. (It's fine on the mac partition, but I don't have anti-virus on the windows) So I'm staying away from internet explorer. All though I am connected to the internet.

IMHO

H.264 and html5 - but I'm not sure either are 'superior' to flash. They're certainly more stable, though.

I'm just curious to see how this plays out. Google and Apple are pushing back against Flash. My hope is that Flash will either step up its game, and become what it needs to be...or an better alternative is developed.

(I would link you to a site that shows a guy whose created a Flash Crash bug, but it might crash your browser. The guy claims he's been reporting this bug to Flash since 2008, and they have yet to fix it in Flash 10).

If html 5 'wins', will Flash (the program) convert final products to html rather than .flv's?

well see ... all the companies involved have lots of money, what helps flash is how much content is out there already. all of that would have to be converted to html 5 ... a monumental task.... talk about a job creation endeavor.
